Dog Free: "We're Not Saying We Told You So ..."

The DogDuane "Dog" Chapman found out conclusively today that he won't be locked up in a Mexican jail -- and he could barely contain his relief. Que bueno!

In a statement to AETV.com, the famed Bounty Hunter told fans, "I'm just like in shock right now," after a Mexican court granted him his freedom this morning. Still, he refused to take the opportunity to talk trash; instead, the clearly emotionally drained Dog -- one of TV's toughest tough guys -- just lost it.

Meanwhile, his Huntress, Beth Chapman, gave us the news update, namely that a court in Puerto Vallarta considered the motion of Dog's lawyers -- which said that the statute of limitations had run out -- and decided to let Dog and his two associates go free. "Many many mahalos," says Beth to Dog's supporters, "and aloha."

168. Yea!! I signed the petition to help keep Dog and family free. Dog and Beth are real people. Don't know if they read this stuff but if yall do, I apologize for all the rude, vicious people writing negative things. Keep up the great work, you are doing good things wherever yall are. I think it is so cool how respectful yall are of the people you apprehend. Glad you got the monkey off your back. Enjoy Hawaii!!!! We love you in Texas

170. I am so glad for them and to everyone who is blasting Dog and Beth for their past and records-- get a grip people!! The whole point is that you can overcome and change and have a real life and help others. Obviously they havea business and make money too but most everyone has a job/employment to make money. They have acknowledged their past mistakes and their family is based on LOVE! You don't have to live like them, but you should not be judgemental and try to see the good instead of posting bad things from someone's past. Who hasn't done things or said things in their past to be ashamed of?

Congrats to you Chapman family! we really enjoy your show and would love to visit Hawaii sometime. I was there when I was 10 and now I have an 8 yr old daughter that now wants to come see it. (and you) :) Aloha!

173. To ere is human to forgive is devine, FIBiker!!!! We have all made mistakes growing up but when we reach a certain age hopefully we have learned from those mistakes and be come a productive or if not that a righteous human being. Would you know anything about that FIBiker??? Go Dog what you did deserves a medal,you put a creep away and probably saved alot of women's lives in Mexico. I wonder as probably alot of people do if the Max Factors family was doing some greasing in Mexico. Viva La Dog and Familia

175.
WHO gives a dam about the corrupt laws..in Mexico? They knew Liuster was there...and allowed him to use the same date rape drugs on their women? Unless you are an illegal immigrant...who gaves a rat's ass ...about them, and about protecting their laws? Their corrupt officials wanted Cash...for assisting DOG! When he refused they turned on him , they were perfectly fine assisting DOG with the arrest of A. Luster, in the beginning! Sounds a bit fishy to me...and corrupt...
Move to Mexico.....do some time in their lawless country.....or jail's...Let's see if Mexico extradites you... to America ... ..... .then talk your BS here......why do you think they all come here..DUH! Maybe we should do the right thing here...send their criminal asses back to where they originated...lovely MEXICO !!

177. People are so quick to judge other individuals and it's pathetic. Every human being makes mistakes, some fall into lifestyles that are common in their neighborhoods. If people cannot understand that Dog learned from his mistakes and instead of continuing a life of crime he is keeping as much crime as possible off of the streets. He went to mexico to capture a sexual predator who deserved to be persecuted for his crimes.... Anybody and everybody in this country should be grateful that there are people out there like Dog and his family that care enough to be out there risking their own lives to take people who endanger the lives of everybody else around there. Every state has at least one city, some with several areas that are drug infested and gang infested where innocent people die everyday, and I'm sorry to tell all of you this, but it takes somebody who knows a criminals mind to get those people off of the streets and away from you and your family to keep them safe

180. for # 74. My husband and I live in Indiana, does that make us Hoosier douche bags? Funny, he's a PHD in Economics and I am a retired AT&Tsales rep. We have no "rap" sheet, pay our taxes and all we own is paid for. So how do we rate such a filthy name?
Dog and family pulled a serial rapist off the streets...in Hoosierland, that counts for something. What have you accomplished for society? How wonderful that you have never made and mistake and can so blatantly speak such illiterate trash to others. You are sadly pathetic.
